Well, we didn’t waste a lot of time getting out of Mexico. We went to the Palenque ruins and checked out the falls and cascades of Misol-Ha and Agua Azul, then booked it to the border with Guatemala yesterday. Then we went to Flores, the gateway to Tikal. It’s looking like we might just find a place to rent for a month. Myung had one hot walk with her stuff in this hot, muggy area and has already had it with hot. We’ve been going pretty steady and we’re aren’t in that big a hurry, so I’m inclined to be alright with a break. After this, maybe we’ll go to Antigua. If we like it there, maybe we’ll rent a place for a while. There will surely be more on this subject in the next couple of posts.
A lot of the pictures of Palenque and the places around there are much like those in the previous posts, so I’m not going to put many here, just a few of the nice ones that are good as photography. You may remember the ruins.
I don’t remember if I posted one of this nice fall in the archaeological area.
Speaking of falls, you would hardly recognize Misol-Ha and Agua Azul from just before the rainy season and now, at the end of the rainy season. Here are some before and after pics. There was no walking behind Misol-Ha now unless you want to get drenched and maybe lose your footing.
There was definitely no swimming in about 90% of the areas you could swim before. There were some tranquil areas, though.
As I said, that was it for Mexico, at least for now. I did almost all of this post several days ago and forgot to finish up and publish it. We’ve been to Tikal and are in Antigua now. I’m going to get the Tikal post up straight away, maybe even tonight.
